Dashon Goldson's one-game suspension was overturned, but he will still be fined $100,000 for his hit on the Saints' Darren Sproles.

Buccaneers safety Dashon Goldson won his appeal with the NFL on Thursday, overturning his one-game suspension, the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport first reported. Goldson will play in Tampa Bay's Week 3 game at the New England Patriots, but according to Rapoport, Goldson will still be fined $100,000.

Goldson drew the suspension from the league on Monday for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Saints running back Darren Sproles in the second quarter of the Bucs' Week 2 home loss to New Orleans. Sproles was a defenseless receiver on the play, and Goldson was flagged for an unnecessary roughness penalty.

If Goldson didn't play this Sunday, he would be out $264,705 in salary. A repeat offender, he just drew a $30,000 fine in Week 1 for his hit on Jets tight end Jeff Cumberland.

For the 0-2 Buccaneers, it means they will have a key defensive back in the lineup to battle Tom Brady and the Patriots.
